Public service worker pensions are a team D thing. Bitch about their local team D officials who agreed to them then.
The D's have controlled Oregon for over 30 years. They have the backing of all the major unions, the SEA, SEIU, and the teachers union who just in the last two days got the Governor to shut down online charter schools, since they have enrolled over 1,000 new students due to the closures of the brick and mortar schools.
The state controlled Public Employees Retirement System, has to pay out a guaranteed 7.32 % on all state pension accounts even though they were invested heavily in equities and lost huge dollars. The state will have to figure out how to pay out that along with 76 to 120 million a month or so in unemployment claims. Of course with 76,500 people out of work and not paying any taxes, or their employers paying any taxes states revenues will decrease dramatically.
The Governor has already said they will have trouble administering services over the next 6 months to a year. The state has a near junk rating for bonding, and really can't bond that type of debt anyway. To see many states defaulting or being unable to make required payments to creditors is going to happen. Most of those PERS retirees are liberal Demorats blindly supporting that beloved government that guaranteed them this golden egg retirement and that government who is about to fuck them right in the ass, and when those libs don't get their guaranteed retirement cheese they will scream like the little bitches they are.
If everything the Demorats do is so fucking good and they are so competent at government then why is shit so fucked up ??
Why can't the state after being under Democrat control for 30 years,have cash up the ass, the PERS system funded without penalty, plenty of emergency supplies on hand and able to handle things with out a bunch of whining that the hated Trump administration is not doing shit for them ??
